Hi Sheila, It is Sapele an african hardwood with just one coat of danish oil, Hardwoods are expensive here in the uk but I found a place that was selling banister rails made from sapele for ?1.60 (2.5$) each 30"x1 1/2"x1" so I just resaw them and glue up into sheets.....Paul :)

Great job, and I learned a little tidbit I was unaware of before.  I did not know you were from the UK Paul.

Gosh it would be nice if more folks would update their profiles and indicate where they are located.  Some forums it shows up under their names, I think here we have to view their profile page.

Very Nice, Paul!

Lovely keepsake for their 'keepsakes'!
